Hello everyone! We hope your summer is off to a good start. We have some updates for the IESJ CoP to keep everyone connected in between meetings.
How to Use DEC Collaborate
This website has some instructions to help you navigate the DEC Collaborate Community. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Our goal is to make this an engaging tool to deepen our discussion and resources during, during, and after our CoP meetings.
IESJ in the News
Based on suggestions we received in our first CoP meeting, we wanted to create a space for members to learn about current events related to IESJ. There is a new discussion thread called "IESJ in the News." Please use this space to share IESJ in the news. This can include news articles, podcasts, videos, and other media that discuss inclusion, equity, or social justice issues related to supporting young children with disabilities and their families.
Library Entry
The library entry tool can be used to share files with the group. We would like to utilize this space for resource sharing. If you come across any helpful resources related to IESJ in early childhood special education, please share the resources here.
We will plan to meet again as a group in August. In the meantime, please feel free to participate by using these methods or by posting in the discussion board if you have a topic you would like to discuss. Please share information about the CoP with others who might be interested!
